Chinkeang, the situation of whi V of the Grand Canel with the Yan *i.ibretiii 7 ~, , "i" advantage over its formerly imp t#l2) -- ~ Soochow is the centre of the rich p a rovt China, and was, therefore, certain to rtabve or or less quickly from the state of desolation in which the rebels had left it. But Nankin possesses no such advantages, and although numbers of its former inhabitants will, no doubt, gradually flock back, and houses will again arise from their ruins, it is very unlikely ever to attain either its former eize, importance, or consideration. Even before the advent of the rebels its prestige as the ancient capital of China alone give it the pas of its far wealthier neighbour—Soochow, and now it seems likely that the latter will permanently eclipse it. The present circumference of its walls is only 18 mike, instead of the 35 miles which it measurtd when NAnkin was the capital of China; and at the time of its capture by the Taepings only two-thirds even of the lesser area was catimated to be occupied by houses. Still, however, amid all its decadence, it is a vast city, and of eufficknt importance to fully justify the great weight attached by the Im perialists to its rcciptnre. Earthquake in the North of England. Between 12 and 1 o'clock on Monday morning there was a shock of an earthquake in the north - of England. At Leeds, Skipton, Silsden, Rochdale, Hebden Bridge, Alanchester, and other places the peculiar sensation resulting from the shock was felt. In some places persons were awoke by the general tremor, and various descriptions of the phenomenon are given, some comparing it to thunder felt but not heard, others to shaking and rocking. The following particulars are from different correspon dents of the Leeds Mercury : SKIPTON.—A strong shock of earthquake was felt in the district of Craven about 12.30 yesterday morning. The shock was preceded by a rushing noise, not unlike that produced by the machinery of a mill during working hours. Many persons were awakened from their sleep, either by the noise or the shaking of the bed. Many people describe the effect experienced by them being similar to an elec. tric shock. We have heard of no damage being done. The tremor lasted for three or four seconds. ROCIIDALE.—On Monday morning, between half past 12 and 1, the vibration of an earthquake was with startling distinctness felt in Rochdale and its suburbs. Watches and clocks were stopped, four posters were violently shaken, doors and windows were rattled, bells were tinkled, dogs were set bark ing and howling, and policemen on their beats frightened. In one case a lady living in a villa on the Manchester-road was so frightened by the tremor of the earth that she got up and rung the bell, called up the servants, had the gases lit, and for nearly a couple of hours the household were in a great state of alarm, waiting probably for another shock, but their expect6Vons were agreeably dis 4 appointed. Superintendent Pickering, of the county constabulary, was awoke while in bed by the shock, and says he heard a noise as if a waggon with a large boiler upon it was going down the street. In specter Cragg, of the borough police, while standing in the police office with his hand holding a bannister, felt it and the room violently shake, and heard a rum., blir g noise like distant thunder. Police officerO'Brian walking his beat felt the earth beneath his feet shake, and heard an unearthly sound. The night porter at the railway station, seated in his cabin, was much alarmed by the room and signal wires which pass through it vibrate and rattle, and ho heard a noise similar to that of an engine passing over an archm way. A largeumber of other persons in the town felt the shock, and most of them agree that it was about a quarter to one when it took place. We have received several communications from which there can be no doubt that there was a slight shock of an earthquake in this district, shortly after midnight on Sunday. The time is variously stated from 12.30 a.m. to 12.40 a.m. The shock is de scribed as having produced the sensation of the bed having been lifted in some cases, while other ob servers state that houses were shaken. The curth quake, which was accompanied by a low rumbling noise, lasted about two seconds, and seemed to pass from n3rfh•east to south-west. It was felt in Higher and Lower Broughton, in Greenheys, in Pendiebury, at Hebden Bridge, and at Ciitheroe. The night was very calm and rather warm. It is rather singular that the last earthquake which was felt over a large portion of this country occurred about this time of the year, namely, on the ,Oth. of October, 1863. A rumbling noise, accompanied by a tremulous motion of the earth, and other indications of the shock from an earthquake, was heard in many parts of this county and Yorkshire shortly after midnight on Sunday. A Rochdale correspondent writes ; " A very distinct shock of earthquake, preceded by a rumbling noise, was felt at Rochdale about one o'clock yesterday morning. Several of the inhabi• tants were awoke from their sleep, and at a public. house of the inmates, fearing there were burglars on the premises, got up and searched the house. The night porter at the railway station also experienced the shock, and stated it to have lasted about twelve seconds. In some instances there was a sensible shaking of the whole building." Similar reports have reached us from Bacup, Hebden Bridge, and Broughton, but in Manchester and Salford the shock does not appear to have been very sensibly felt, though some people, concurring in a point of time, speak of having felt a vibration which lasted a few seconds. (From the _2llOnchcster Examiner.) Shortly after midnight en Sunday a shock of earthquake was felt in this neighbourhood. At Heben Bridge, the railway porter at the station was alarmed by the large factories near trembling from their foundations, as he expressed it, " like a cradle." Several persons in the village were awoke by the general tremor that seems to have passed through the village ; and various are the descrip tions of the phenomena, some comparing it to thunder felt, but not heard, others to shaking, rock• it.g, &c. The shock appears to have been felt by a few persons in the neigbourhood of Manchester. One gentleman, residing in Broughton, informs us that he was awoke by it, at half-past twelve o'clock Another gentleman, also residing at Brougton,says that he observed it. At Pendlebury, too, we learn that the shock was felt there at the same time as in Broughton, In Regent road, Salford, and also in Bonsall-street, Halme, a tremulous motion, last ing only a few seconds, was perceived. "An 0134 server," dating from Sedgley-park, Prestwick, says, " Between twelve and four o'clock this morning I was alarmed by a loud noise, as if a heavy weight had fallen in the middle of the room. I was at the time in a sound sleep, but I distinctly felt my bed shake. lat once got up to ascertain the cause, but none was visible. Others of my family felt the same shock, and it extended to the stable yard where my servant was sleeping." Our Bacup correspondent says :—" On Saturday night, at half.past twelve o'clock, many of the inhabitants were startled out of bed by the sharp shock of an earthquake, which in some houses set the pots and pans violently rattling, and which was felt through the town and suburbs. It appears to have bees more severely left on the Yorkshire side of Bacup—Todmorden-road and Brickficld. The motion felt was not so much of a vibration as a sharp, sudden shock, as if some giant power had seized the houses and given them a violent, Inemm tary shock, and all was over. At the same time the shock passed over the night was warm and star light, though not very clear. An hour before it was intensely dark." From Haslingden a co-respondent writes A severe shock of an earti q lake was felt here this morning at 12.30, which lasted four secouds. At the time there was a dense fog, and the writer experienced a sense of enifoca' ion." THE COST OF CAERGWYN. By Mary Howitt. 3 vols.—" This tale deserves high praise.

Lloyd's rules are already in force, but to relieve the Wear manufacturers from the difficulty they were in owing to the want of a test, the authorities have agreed to accept certi ficates from the present test, under proper inspec tion, for a period of three months. At the end of that time the rules will be rigorously enforced, and if there be no test completed the manufacturers must either shut up shop or rend all their produce to be tested on the Tyne. BONDS.

Your committee regret that the provisions of this bill, conferring City Sewers Commission. powers on the Board of Trade to grant licences, did not confine the testing of the cables and anchors to public machines, instead of extending it also to private persons.' It is still, however, in the power of shipowners and others to have their cables and anchors tested at public establishments should The Commissioners of Sewers of the City of London met yesterday at Guildhall for the despatch of public business, Henry de Jersey, Esq., e'eputy, presided.

"The time for making final arrangements as to this widening is now approaching, and it appears to me upon con sideration that a tavJurable opportunity presents itself for effecting a larger and more important improv, in , mt at that spot, by which the mixing of the traffic, which is now incon venient and even dan -,, rous to pedestrians es well as to vohicle3, may be greatly reduced, if not altoget her prevented.

"As the whole of the property on the Ludgate-hill side of the circus is to be removed, the commission will only have to acquire such vacant ground as may be requisite, and one half of the circus can be carried out very shortly. It will be in itself a great easement to the traffic, even if the other side be not completed. " To complete the western half of the circus three houses only would have to be taken down; these the commission can acquire under the powers of its act, should it approve of the plan, and be able to obtain the funds to carry it out.

The CHAIRMAN explained the nature of the suggested improvement, which he thought was one of the greatest importance to the public. In answer to a question, Mr ILtywooD said la e had every reason to believe that the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway would be dis posed to give their assistance to the carrying oat of the im- provement. Mr GREEN considered the subject to be one of great pub lic importance, and thought it was desirable that it should be referred to the Improvement Committee to consider and report. He would therefore move to that effect. Mr G. WALTER seconded the motion, and it was put and agreed to. Naval and Military Intelligence.

On the whole, your committee regard the measure as a benefit conferred, not only on shipowners but on the public interest in general, affording as it does protection to life and propertyen• gaged in maritime commerce ; and they would em brace this opportunity of expressing the deep sense entertained by them of the obligations which they and the shipping interest must feel to the hon. member, Mr Laird, who not only brought the bill into Parliament, but by his personal exertions greatly contributed to carrying this important mea sure to a successful issue." There are other gentlemen too, besides Mr Lsird, to whom the eha:nmakers and the public owe rftany thanks for their energy and devotion in the agita tion for the establishment of a compulsory proof. Foremost amongst these is Mr John. Trottnan, the inventor of the patent anchor. The wreck of the Royal Cnarter proved to Mr Trottnan the great in tereat the cc,u itry had in abliishing the sale of in ferior c•lbles. Ha wrote to newspapers, discussed the question with practical men, and corresponded with the operative chainmakers, who severtl months previous to the wreck of the Royal Char ter had ieeued a circular describing the inferior cha racter of much of the chain that was manufac- tured, and otherwise aided in bringing about the passing of the bill. the Naval Commander-in-Chief, and mails for the ships of war accompanying him, which reached Castenamare, in the Bay of Naples, on the 10th. Mr Nugent, the flag-lieutenant of Rear-Admiral Austin, and Mrs Nugent and child, were passen, gers by the Psyche, which returned to Malta with despatches and mai's for England on the 21st of September. Her Majesty's screw steam corvette Racer, left on the 15th for Cape Ras-elsTion, in the Pashalic of Bengszi, to assist the Fanny Lambert in lifting, splicing, and repairing the cable between this last named port and Alexandria. Mr Gibson, the Government Inspector of Telegraphs, went by the Racer. Her Majesty's screw steam gunboat Wanderer arrived on the 16th from Zante. Her Majesty's screw steam gunboat Foxhound left on the 19th for Gibraltar and Spithead, having been upwards of four years i n commission. Her Ma jesty's screw line of-b a ttl e ship Meeaneo arrived on the 21st from Gibraltar, with supernumeraries for the squadron, brought out as far as Gibraltar by the Warrior. The French steam frigate Cacique, having on board their Highnesses the Prince atie Princess Lucien Murat and family, left Malta for the Pit ewes of Athens on the 13th of September. The Ottoman steam frigate Feizi Bahri left for Alex andria and Constantinople on the 14th of Sept. The Russian screw steam frigate Ileg arrived at Malta from the Piraeus on the 16th of Sept., and immee diately saluted the garrison. Ilac salute was not re turned until 14 hours after, which gave great ume brage, and is said to have been the subject of an official complaint. She put to sea again on the even ing of the 19th for Cadiz, Cherbourg, and Cron stadt. A Confederate war steamer, bark rigged, is reported by Capt. Browne, of the bark Craw. fords, which arrived yesterday from Newcastle, to have been fallen in with by him between Pantel leria and Gozo on the afternoon of the 20th of Sep. tember. A large Federal merchant ship, with wheat, from Taganrog for Malta, for orders, and several fruit ships homeward bound, from Smyrna, are known to be on their voyage, and may possibly be the game for which the Confederate war steamer is seeking. The iron frigate Achilles, 20, 6,121 tons, 1,250 horse power, Capt. E. W. Vansittart, will only re ceive a portion of her officers and crew at Chatham, the remainder of the ship's company joining on the frigate arriving at Spithead. It was originally in tended not to commission the Achilles until she arrived at Portsmouth, bat as it was essential that she should be completed and sent to sea before the winter, it was considered that a portion of her offi cers and crew, as well as the whole of her Marines, should join to hasten the work of fitting her. The following officers who have been appointed to the Achilles have already joined and taken up their commissions :—Capt. E. W. Vansittart ; Comman. der W. 11. Mist; It. L. Cleveland, master ; G. F.

Thalestris proved herself a stayer in the Fifteenth Triennial by making all the running and winning in a cantor, the favourites, Early Purl and Sea mender, being beaten at the hill. The Hopeful looked a rather open race for the young ones, who, from the penal ties, met on pretty equal terms. The result was a grand turn for the fielders, Puritan most unexpectedly defeating the two cracks, Gardevisure and Kate Hampton, by a head, after a slashing race. The chief event of the first day is always the Great Eastern Handicap, one of those T.Y.C. scrambles that everybody condemns, while everybody gambles on them. Always bringing together large fields, with a great probability that the first away will be also the first past the chair, they are the greatest uncertainties, an outsider generally disappointing the favourite's backers. There was the usual delay at the post, the Hersey filly and Vandervelde getting away in front when the flag fell, H. Grinashaw, who was riding Gamma, waiting with groat patience until the last moment (she being of an uncertain temper), when he brought her out, and after a fine race with Cadeau and Vandervelde defeated the former by a neck. An interesting meeting between Ely and Baragah, in the Grand Duke Michael, in which the former was the victor, brought the day's racing to a close. There was very little speculation on future events beyond the advance of the Calista colt to the premiership for the Cesarewitch, and Thalestris, after her easy win in the Triennial, coming somewhat into favour for the same event. Third Year of the Fifteenth Triennial Produce Stakes of 10 sovs each, for 4-yr-olds ; colts, Bst 71b; fillies, Bst 41b. The second horse to receive a sum equal to 10 per cent, and the third a sum equal to 5 per cent on the whole stake. D.I. 39 subs. Lord Coventry's Thalestris (J.

Thalestris got away with a clear lead of a couple of lengths of Scamander, who was followel by Turcos and Early Purl on, the left. They ran in these positions to the new ground, when Early Purl drew forward, and on the retirement of Mr Cartwright's colt at the commencement of the rails he became second, but in turn gave way to Turcos half way up the hill, but who was never enabled to reach the leader, who won with great ease by three lengths; a bad third.

Betting-6 to 4 agst Watchbox, 100 to 15 each agst Effie and Jessie, and 8 to 1 each agst The Tyke and Fanny. The favourite, in company with Effie, Jessie, Cobweb, and Fanny, got away in advance and ran in close company to the bushes, whereWatchbox and Effie singled themselves out and finished the race home, the former, who always had the best of it, winning cleverly by a length. Fanny finished a bad third, Nimrod was fourth, and Lytham fifth. The next division was headed by Jessie and Cobweb.

King of Clubs, on the left, was the first away, and made the running, having Usher and Tiptoe as his immediate followers into the cords, where the former drew away and won very cleverly by a length. Tiptoe finished a bad third. The Hopeful Stakes of 40 sovs each, h ft, for two- yr-old colts, Bst 1016 ; and fillies, Bst 81b. Winners extra, with certain allowances.

After a few failures they were despatched. in close com pany, Kate Hampton, with Cordelia and Gardevisure, hav ing a slight advantage, closely followed by Puritan, Houri, Shrapnell, Todleben, Lady Egidia, and Venus to the bushes, where Cordelia gave way, leaving Kate Hampton with a clear lead of the favourite, the pair being joined halfway down the hill by Puritan, who headed them in the cords, and won a fine race in the last stride by a head; a like dis tance separated the second and third ; Shrapnell finished fourth close up, Cordelia was fifth, and close in her wake came Todleben, Lady Egidia, and Queen Mary, the last two being Tilt and Fravolina. The Great Eastern Railway Handicap, a sweepstakes of 15 sovs each, 5 ft, with 100 added, for 3-yr-olds and up wards; winners extra. The owner of the second horse to receive 25 sovs out of the stakes.

Betting —6 to 1 agst Hersey filly, 10 to 1 each agst Woldga, Myrtle, and Gemma, 100 to 8 eget Cadeau, 100 to 7 agst Varderveldo, 100 to 6 agst Exchequer, 20 to 1 each agst Crytheia, Echo, and Almack, 25 to 1 each agst Vivid, and Confederate, 100 to 3 agst Soapstone. Upwards of three-quarters of an hour was lost at the post before Mr M'Gcorge was enabled to lower his flag, when they got away in an extended line across the course. The Hersey filly, on the right, being the first away, came on slightly in advance of Biondella,Vanderveldo, and Woldga, and in the centre were Gemma, Myrtle, Cadeau, Almack, and Exchequer, the others, who were headed by Crytheia, Confederate, Clairvcyante, and Echo, lying close in their rear, the last of all being Isca, who got badly away. As they neared the hill the Hersey filly dropped away, and the running was taken up by Vandervelde, closely attended by Cadeau, Myrtle, Gemma, and Woldga, who ran so wide that it was with difficulty their precise positions could be dis cerned, but as they entered the cords the count's colt ob tained a decided advantage, which he retained to within a dozen strides of the chair, where he ran out upon being called upon, which let up Gemma and Cadeau. The three finished 'a fine race, Grimshaw, by patience alone, landing Gemma the winner in the last stride by a neck, Cadeau obtaining the second money by a bead from Vandervelde, GAS SUPPLY TO THE CITY. The radical officer reported that the illuminating power of the gas supplied to the City during the week had been above the requirements of the act of Parliament ; that the quantity of sulphur in the City and Chartered Companies had been less than that sanctioned by the act of P arliament . and that the quantity in the Great Central Gas had been in excess of it.

Consequently the deaths of last week are slightly above the average mortality. From zymotic diseases, in the aggr e gate, the deaths last week were 389; in the previous week the number was 383. Diarrb vaa was fatal in 78 cases -60 of these were children under two years of age. Three children died from cholera. Ten deaths were caused by smallpox. Measles proved fatal to 56 children. Five deaths from this disease occurred in the sub-district of Bow, 4 in that of Kensington town, and 4 in that of Amwell, Clerkenwell. Scarlatina caused 73 deaths ; of these 6 occurred i n the sub-district of St. John, West minster, and 6in that of Greenwich West, Twelve deaths occurred from diphtheria --three of these in Plumatead. One hundred and twenty-eight persons died from disease of the brain and nervous system, 56 from diseases of the heart, and 148 from diseases of the respiratory organs (ex clusive of phthisis, which caused 132 deaths). Forty-one persons lost their lives by accidents of various kinds. No loss than 11 parsons were killed by vehicles in the streets. Three childrea and one adult lost their lives by burning. Five persons were drowned and five children were suffocated. A woman committed suicide by drinking paraffin oil.

Xvi/( - e - A FCafol' e The Rebellion in China. (From the Times Correspondent.) SHANGHAI, Aug. 4. The Taeping rebellion has at length been brought o a close, and the question as to whether our policy should be one of intervention or non-intervention effectually set at rest, at least fora time. Nankin 'ell into the hands of the Imperialists, after several days' fighting, on the 19th inst., together with the principal rebel leaders. The Tien-wang, the rebel Emperor, avoided the pain of witnessing this final disaster by taking gold-leaf two days previously. When the besiegers commenced their attack the Chung•wang escaped, with the Tien.wang's young son and several others, but was taken, having given up his pony to the young Prince; the Kan-wang, who has frequently been mentioned by visitors to Nankin as the Shield King, is also a prisoner. Whether it be that recant information by spies of the miserable state of the garrison induced the Im- perialist leaders to shake off the apathy in the hope of an easy conquest, or whether Gordon's instruc tions during his recent visit showed them that their task was easier than they anticipated, they shortly after his visit began to show signs of unwonted vigour. A breach of 120 feet in width was made in the outer wall, by the explosion df a mine near the east gate, containing above 60,0001 b of powder, and by the 191 h, the whole city was in their hands. The news reached Pekin ou the 2ith, having been forwarded by couriers, at the rate of more than 100 miles a day. Few details have yet been received of the closing scenes of the siege, so I am only able to give you a brief outline of the occurrences. Nan- kin, as is well known, was &fended by three walls— an outer wall, a second surrounding the Tartar city, and a third which had been constructed round the Tien-wang's Palace. The Tartar city was not gar risoned by the rebels, so the assailants had only two lines of defence to attack, Au assault was made on the outer wall at dawn on the 18th, and before noon it had been carried at every part, and the garrison had fallen back within the inner line .f fortifications. The steamer Confucius, which is under charter to the Shantung guild of merchants at Shanghai, chanced to be lying off Nankin at the time, and rendered aficient service by engaging Iwo strong batteries that the rebels had erected (acing the river, and which had hitherto defied the distant efforts of the Irnperiulist gunboats. Tue Confucius, which is commanded by an American, had been sent up by the Chinese authorities to con vey treasure to the Imperialist troops, and Captain I.liwse deemed he would be rendering them agree able service by availing himself of the opportunity ffered to lend them the aid of other metal which he carried as well. Hcr 18 pounders soon made the batteries untenable for the tebols, who abandoned them after b.alf an hour's sharp engagement during which the Confucius lost two men killed and had a third wounded, and the Imperialist gunboats came up and took possession. The troops, on their part, lcst very little time in following up their first success; the second line of dtf,nce was eto tacked and carried before daylight on the fol- lowing morning, and by the evening of the 19th all Nankin was in their hands. The fortifications which had been erected round the Tien - wang's palace arc said to have been defended with desperation ; but the garrison was too weak to resist the large forces that the Imperialists were able to bring against them,and the lattersoon effected n entrance by battering down one of the gates. The first sight which met the victors on entering the palace was the corpse of the Tien-wang, lying evidently in the position in which he had died, and the bodies of a number of his wives hanging from the trees iu the garden. The Kan-wang was here arrested, and with the Chung-wang, whose capture I have already alluded to, now lies a prisoner in the house of the Imperialist commander, awaiting sen tence from Pekin. Chung-wang estimates the strength of the rebel garrison at from 18,000 to 20,000, and does not attempt to disguise the straits to which they were reduced. He is said to be intent on writing his life. There can be little doubt that he will be condemned to death ; indeed, it would be unwise on the part of the Government to set so fa mous a leader at liberty, as his name would attract thousands of the disaffected from every part of the empire if he chose again to raise the standard of rebellion. Of the garrison, part escaped, and part were made prisoners, It does not seem that any excesses were committed by the Imperialist soldiery, as has been the case on other occasions. The city is miserably dilapidated, and the streets were full of the bodies of persons who had evidently died of starvation. No loot of value was found, except the Tien-wang's seal, which was ofsolid gold, and weighing 301 b. Neither Tsan-kwo-fan, the Viceroy of the two Kiangs, nor the Futai, was present at the capture. The fortu nate commander is Tsan-kwo-tsun, brother of the Viceroy, who is not unlikely to got the Futaiship of this province as a reward. The present Futai will probably be speedily promoted to a - Viceroyalty, and as he has established a reputation for talent in crushing rebellion, a part of the empire which is infested by other bands of brigands will no doubt be selected as his new scene of action. There are plenty such—Fokhein, Kianusi, Tze-chnen, Henan, Shense, Kansuh, are all more or less disturbed by hordes of Nien-feis—as these bands of robbers are termed—so numerous and formidable that they almost deserve the name of rebels. Disturbance and brigandage aro the normal conditions of China, and at the present moment Kiang su and Che-keang, lately the scene of so severe a struggle, are pros bably the most tranquil provinces in the empire. But-, whatever other disturbances may exist, the Tapping rebellion may now be fully said to be sub dued, since the Emperor is dead, and all its noted °ilea in the hands of the Imperialists. Nankin will now bo opened to foreign trade. It was not named in our treaty, but the sixth erticlo of the French treaty stipulated that French sub jects should be allowed to establish themselves there directly it was recovered from the rebels; and under the " most favoured nation"clanse in the treaties with England and America, subjects of those countries will enjoy thesamfespr a rivliolnegget.imTehbe privilege, however, will certainly i h : is a heap a barren one, and even intheheend isnot worth much.
